General information

When to use Thripex?

Use Thripex for biological pest control of various thrips species (hatching eggs and the first larval stage). Predatory mites also eat spider mites (e.g. strawberry mite, broad mite), several other mites, honeydew and pollen.

How does Thripex work?

Adult predatory mites actively search for and feed on their prey.

How to use Thripex

Application Thripex

Turn and shake the bottle gently before use
Bottle: Press in the center of the cap to open the dosage hole
Bucket: Use a spoon to distribute Thripex, 2-3 ml per rockwool block, opposite of the trickler
Sprinkle material on leaves
Choose at least 4,000 introduction points per hectare, evenly distributed over the total surface
If possible use one of our distribution technology products

When applied as heaps on rockwool blocks, the predatory mites keep reproducing for some weeks and disperse in the crop.

Please note that Thripex contains grain mites and bran. These mites might cause slight damage to some crops, especially with a large number of mites and high humidity. Therefore, consult your supplier prior to using Thripex. It is recommended to carry out a small field test to monitor the effects.'Thripex in vermiculite' is the safest product for sensitive crops.

Best working conditions Thripex

The predatory mite is not susceptible to diapause and therefore can be applied all year round. Relative humidity should be above 75% and the temperature above 20°C/68°F for some hours of the day.

Handling

Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced to the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Failure to do so can have a negative impact on their quality. In case you do need to store Thripex, please follow the instructions below. Koppert B.V. is not liable for any loss of quality if the product is stored for longer than recommended and/or under incorrect conditions.
